Beskrivning
Mutton Island and its causeway provide a perfect birdwatching experience if you find yourself in Galway. From winter untill late spring it provides a refuge for the svartnäbbad islom, Kentsk tärna and fisktärna. Because of the tidal waters you might find storspov, rödspov, roskarl and rödbena. Also the pier makes it more easy to look out at the sea to find some sillgrissla, mindre lira and havssula.

Tillgänglighet
Mutton Island is easily accessible from Galway. From the city centre its a 30 minute walk. You might park your car all along Grattan road. You can explore the pier by foot. At the end of the pier you can climb over the little fence so you might explore the entire island as long as you stay out of the water reserve's restricted area. I'd recommend explore the southeastern end of the island so you have a better view of the sea/bay.

NejExtra information
It's a great place to go birdwatching all year but I'd recommend spring till early summer, and autumn. In early summer you can still find the svartnäbbad islom. Some of wich are allready in their beautifull breeding plumage. In autumn I found that there were more waders then in the summer months. Possibly because they already left their northern breeding grounds.
